Herefordshire Voluntary Organisations Support Service (Hvoss) won a contract for £1.8m from the Big Lottery (as part of a nationwide scheme of £108m) to run the local Talent Match partnership covering Herefordshire and Telford.

The Herefordshire team had their Christmas lunch at the MBA Bowling Alley near Hereford Station. We joined them to hand out certificates to those who had done particularly well in overcoming some sort of barrier to achieve a goal.

All it takes is a little help for people to achieve something and make a contribution. A little goes a long way.
